Yongzheng-era memorial

鑲藍旗滿洲都統、誠勇公奴才豐盛額恭恭敬敬上奏，是想把知道的一點情況說清楚，請皇上明明白白地指示一下。 奴才查到，雍正二年的時候，因爲八旗的滿洲人丁漸漸增多、人口多了不少，所以專門開恩，給每個旗都增加了四百六十名養育兵。後來，遇到有軍事方面的事情，八旗的大臣們考慮到兵事要緊，在挑養育兵的時候，就只挑那些身材高大、眼下能當差走動的，〔?〕以前養過孤兒寡婦的人，但因爲自己個子矮小、沒能到御前當差，所以沒得到這份恩典的，也有不少。 奴才仔細琢磨，當初增加養育兵，原本就是爲了讓那些寡婦、沒能當差的孤兒，還有沒有錢糧的人，好歹能得到一點照顧，讓他們有個過日子的依靠，把自己養活起來。要是光挑身材高大的，恐怕跟皇上愛護底下所有人的那番至誠心意就不太對得上。 想請求皇上，把這事交給八旗的大臣們：從今以後，再挑養育兵的時候，除了閒散滿洲里頭，已經進過官學、能射箭的人，照舊挑去當差之外，如果哪個旗裏，有寡婦拉扯的孩子，或者是自己一個人單過、家裏沒有披甲人的那種，就查清楚了，讓該管的參領、佐領他們給打個保，只要年滿十歲的，馬上收作養育兵，給一份錢糧養起來。這樣一來，那些孤兒在皇上的大恩底下，就容易養活了，寡婦也能有個活路，混口飯喫，保住自己一條命。 這事能不能這麼辦，全憑皇上您明明白白給個示下。爲這個，奴才恭恭敬敬上奏。 雍正十三年十二月十四日。 奉旨：讓八旗大臣們議一議再上奏。欽此。 我自己身體很好。你薩鼐他們向達賴喇嘛、班禪額爾德尼等，照這意思替我好好問候。你的這個奏報，我仔細看過了，各樣事情都辦得很難得，非常好，很讚賞。濟農已經到了，要恭恭敬敬地商量着，防備着，告訴達賴喇嘛和當地的大臣們。我這招地本是個小地方，各樣事情都知道了，後來因爲你們那裏讓地方上的老百姓受苦了，這怎麼行呢，就把兵撤回來了。真沒想到，超出意料，羅卜藏丹津真就反了。現在羅卜藏丹津被大兵打敗了，正東躲西逃地流竄。眼下大兵已經把各番子、回子全給平定了，馬上就要出兵去捉拿羅卜藏丹津。他要是被逼得緊了，一定會跑到招地來求收留，除了這兒，再沒別的地方可去。如今他已經七零八散，絕沒有本事帶着大隊人馬來，只能帶着一點點人馬來，你們很容易就能把他抓住，立下大功。羅卜藏丹津就算佔了招地，難道還能比策仁敦多布更強橫、更有兩下子嗎？要是再調大兵過來，你們這成千上萬的人可就要跟着遭殃了。這點你們心裏要明白，各自勤快出力，奮勇殺敵抓人，建立功勳。皇父當年重新振興黃教的恩典，你們可別辜負了。要是再去水裏火裏找出路，羅卜藏丹津不請旨就反叛，仗着自己強橫跑到招地來，還想指望皇父寬宏大量，想照着喇嘛的樣子，在招地待住了再拿好話請求恩典，那我就絕不可能答應，一定要派大兵去把招地拿下來。到那時候，玉石俱焚，你們這成千上萬的人就算後悔，也來不及了。這是羅卜藏丹津自己作孽造罪罷了，跟我沒關係。這一層一層的意思，我都給你們明明白白地說開、說透了。

鑲藍旗滿洲都統、輔國公奴才豐昇額謹奏：為將微知之事恭陳，仰祈聖明睿鑒事。竊奴才查得，雍正二年，八旗滿洲人丁漸增，戶口繁多，特恩每旗添設養育兵四百六十名。嗣後，兵機之際，八旗大臣因思兵事緊要，選取養育兵時，祇擇身材壯大者令其當官行走，而藤牌等官職及身小未入步射者，致有未蒙恩澤之人。奴才伏思，添設養育兵，專為寡婦、未入步射之孤子，及無錢糧人等，垂憫給以生業，培養伊等。若僅選身材稍大者，似不合於聖主愛恤眾奴才之至意。伏請敕交八旗大臣，嗣後選取養育兵，於閒散滿洲內，除已入步射善於騎射者照常選取當差外，倘旗內有寡婦撫養之子，或孤身無披甲差務之人，查明後，該管參領、佐領等具保，年逾十歲者，即收入養育兵內養贍。如此，孤子既可仰賴皇上格外之恩易於長成，而寡婦亦得生計。可行與否之處，仰祈聖明睿鑒。為此謹奏。 雍正十三年十二月十四日奉旨：八旗大臣議奏。朕躬甚安，爾等問達賴喇嘛、班禪額爾德尼好。覽爾所奏，諸事辦理妥協，大加嘉許。旨到後，敬謹商議防範。告知達賴喇嘛及此處大臣。我駐劄之地，係小事，凡事皆知。今因爾等地方百姓被擾，為之撤兵，實出意外。羅卜藏丹津實未料及。今羅卜藏丹津被我兵擊敗，逃竄躲避。現在大兵已將眾番回全行平定妥協。擒拿羅卜藏丹津之兵已出動，正予擒拿。其若被圍困，必來尋我駐劄之地，此外別無去處。今已各各離散，斷不能以大隊前來，若以少數之力來，爾等極易擒獲，立可得功。羅卜藏丹津雖佔據駐劄之地，豈能較策凌敦多布更為強悍？現大兵調派，爾等百姓將遭殲戮。知曉此情，各各奮勉誅殺擒拿，建立功績。勿負皇父復興佛教之恩，再自投水火。羅卜藏丹津不請旨意，反叛逞強，來我駐地，仍欲欺哄皇父仁厚，佔據之後又思以好言求恩，我斷不允准，必派大兵奪取之。那時不分玉石，爾等百姓雖悔之，亦難追及。此乃羅卜藏丹津自取罪戾，與我無幹。將此等情節明白曉諭。

The Commander of the Bordered Blue Manchu Banner, the meritorious Duke Fengxunge, respectfully memorializes: In order to humbly present what little I know, I beg for the imperial illumination. Your servant has investigated and found that in the second year of Yongzheng (1724), because the Manchu population of the Eight Banners gradually increased and the number of people became large, by special grace four hundred and sixty “nurtured troops” were added to each banner. Later, at times of military urgency, the Eight Banner high officials thought only of military necessity and, when selecting nurtured troops, chose only those of larger stature to perform official duties. Those who were smaller in build and had not yet entered the foot-archery units, as well as those in positions such as rattan-shield officers, sometimes failed to receive the imperial grace. Your servant humbly reflects that the purpose of adding nurtured troops was specifically to take pity on widows, orphans who had not yet entered foot-archery, and those without salary or rations, giving them a livelihood and fostering them. If selection is restricted only to those somewhat larger in body, it seems not to accord with the sage ruler’s ultimate intention to love and care for all his servants. I humbly request that the Eight Banner high officials be instructed that henceforth, when selecting nurtured troops from among the idle Manchus, in addition to the normal selection of those who have entered foot-archery and are skilled in shooting, if within a banner there are widows raising children, or persons who are alone and without armor duty, after clear investigation the responsible company colonel and lieutenant colonel shall provide guarantees, and those over ten years of age shall immediately be taken into the nurtured troops to be raised and supported. In this way, orphans may easily be nurtured by the emperor’s overflowing grace, and individual widows will also obtain a means of livelihood. Whether this is feasible or not, I look up to the sage ruler for his bright discernment. Hence this respectful memorial. Imperial rescript: Yongzheng 13th year, 12th month, 14th day. Decree: The Eight Banner high officials shall deliberate and memorialize. We are quite well. You are to inquire after the health of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Erdeni. We have reviewed your memorial; all matters have been handled properly and We greatly commend it. Upon arrival of this decree, respectfully consult and take precautions. Inform the Dalai Lama and the officials here. The place where We are stationed is small, and all matters are known. Now, because the common people in your region have been disturbed, you withdrew the troops—why? It was unexpected. Lobdzang Danjin was truly not anticipated. Now Lobdzang Danjin has been defeated by Our troops and is fleeing and hiding. At present the large army has completely pacified all the Fanzi and Huizi. Troops to capture Lobdzang Danjin have already been dispatched and are seizing him. If he is cornered, he will surely come seeking Our station; apart from this, he has nowhere else to go. Now they have scattered and can by no means come with great force. If they come with only a small force, it will be extremely easy for you to capture them and achieve merit. Although Lobdzang Danjin has occupied the station, can he be more fierce than Cering Dondub? We are also dispatching a large army, and your people of a hundred families may suffer destruction. Understand this, and each of you strive earnestly to kill and capture him and establish merit. Do not betray the grace of the Imperial Father who revived the Buddhist teaching, and again plunge yourselves into water and fire. Lobdzang Danjin, without requesting a decree, rebelled and forcefully came to Our station, still hoping to deceive the Imperial Father’s magnanimity. After occupying the station, he again seeks grace with fair words. We will absolutely not permit it; We will certainly send a large army to seize it. At that time, without distinguishing jade from stone, even if your hundred families regret it, it will be too late. Lobdzang Danjin has only himself brought on this punishment; it is of no concern to Us. These details are to be clearly and thoroughly explained.
